good morning, you're watching wusa9 at 5:00 a.m. i'm andrea roane. >> you got one more day at work and then the weekend. i'm mike hydeck, closes and delays this morning already. first off federal government workers you are open today but employees have the option of unscheduled leave or tell work. >> in virginia the school districts are closed today -- >> while the schools in -- have a two hour delay. we're going to continue to update these on our website and the ticker on the bottom of your screen. heads up monika is off today. beverly farmer is going to have traffic in a moment and howard starts us off. it's going to be later this afternoon. maybe early afternoon out west toward the shenandoah valley, i- 81 corridor into the mountains. i think mid-afternoon here in d.c. and it doesn't look like a lot. maybe an inch, two, that's about it. tough to get excited snow lovers but we will have some snow in the air and certainly it's cold enough whatever falls is going to be sticking on untreated surfaces. here's a look ott the day planner. we're starting with the clouds.

you know by early afternoon, we could have some areas seeing some light snow developing even 1:00 but that should be west of town. by 3:00 some snow moving in and look at the temps in the upper 20s and that's why we're talking about stickage and 5:00 still some snow around and maybe even in toward the evening so we're watching the snow. the afternoon rush could be affected. we're watching the snow. you'll see it coming in toward ohio now. this is going to take a while to get here plus the air is very dry. winter weather advisories many effect for the metro area 2:00 until 9:00. we're again looking at an inch perhaps 3 up towards the maryland and pennsylvania border. and in some of the areas of western maryland and these temperatures this morning, teens to about 20 bundle up. beverly farmer it's friday morning. hope it will be friday light. absolutely, friday much lighter out of bullet mar. to problem we had near 100 has been resolved. the ride for 270 travelers, heading south out of frederick, volume light and pavement in good shape.

the reminder in and out of the neighborhoods and secondary roadways still going to be slick given the temperatures and refreezing that's occurred overnight. lanes are open around prince george's county beltway and virginia inbound lanes of 66 everything in good shape coming through manassas. centreville fair oak heading on inside the beltway and making the ride there. everything open here on 395 and landmark and northbound 95 it's been a good ride out of fredericksburg, quantico boy what a difference a day makes. and on into woodbridge there. back to you mike. andrea. the white house is taking its campaign for greater gun control on the road. >> as you already know vice president biden is heading the president's task force on this. richmond, virginia is going to be the first stop. delia goncalves has a preview of the effort on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning mike, andrea. we don't know too many details in regards to specifics of this particular trip. but we know the vice president will be joined by other members of the administration and of course senator tim kaine. they will head to richmond

today to talk more about their gun control measures and a state of course where many gun control measures failed to pass the legislature. the visit today by the vice president comes one day after senator dianne feinstein from california introduced a new, more strict version essentially of her 1994 assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. the new measure bans more than 150 assault weapons and ammunition magazines with more than ten rounds. >> military style assault weapons have but one purpose and in my view that's a military purpose. >> we're not trying to seize everybody's guns. but we need reasonable gun control in this country. or guess what? it will happen again. >> i'm optimistic. we have the american people on our side and i think that might bring washington together. >> reporter: however, they may have american people on their side, but those inside of

congress are not too convince tsz that this gun control -- convinced that the gun control ban -- the gun ban rather will pass in congress. that last soundbyte was from new york senator kirsten gillibrand. she will have gun trafficking legislation next week. at 5:30 why the vice president himself thinks the ban may not be the best idea. back to you mike, andrea? >> all right delia goncalves with that update from capitol hill. police say they're working to identify a third suspect in the killing of a friendly high school student last week. two teenagers 17-year-old akil ings of suitland and 19-year- old kquantae fisher of fort washington are now in custody facing murder charges. 16-year-old marcus jones was shot and killed early sunday as he left a birthday party. jones is the fourth prince george's county student murdered this school year. and investigators say their suspects are affiliated with gangs and they're hoping for tips to find the third. are d.c. police investigators handling sexual

assaults the right way? city counselors are going to hold a hearing about that exact topic today. human rights watch released a report yesterday including accounts from victims saying officers have been dismissive toward them. the report also cites that hospital records as evidence that police failed to open the investigations into many of the reported rapes and attempted sexual assaults. police chief kathy lanier says the group's methodology is flawed. it is 5:05. >> time for the latest your money report of the morning. >> happy friday jessica doyle. >> yeah definitely a happy friday. hopefully we'll get happy news out of the economic data that's coming out but in the meantime another disappointment from the tech giant. we're talking about microsoft this time and we're talking apple yesterday. microseventy says profits slipped 4% last quarter even though this was solid demand for the new windows 8 software. and we're checking the numbers for you --

a woman who specialized in fighting white collar crime is president obama's choice to head up securities and exchange commission. mary joe white is known as a tough prosecutor. the pick could be a sign that the financial industry is about to be hit by some tougher policing. and in the meantime, big time washington lobbying firm got a big of a haircut last year and you can blame the fiscal cliff. the "washington post" reports that in 2012 the top ten firms saw revenues actually dip 10%. total coming in at $232.6 million and they're still making lots of money. seven of the top on k. street saw income dropping anywhere between 5% and 30%. second year in a row we've seen

earnings slip. essentially the fourth quarter was dominated by avoiding the fiscal cliff and for lobbying firms a push to not spend money means they don't get the make a lot of money trying to push congress to spend money. the fiscal cliff bad for lobbying. >> oh. i have so many comments. we'll see what jessica doyle is going to comment on in the next 30 minutes. >> that's right. we are going to stop spending money today. >> we are? >> we're attacking our spending habits, yes. i've got some ideas. >> lead the charge. >> i know can you bring a team along? [ laughter ] >> yeah. >> thank you jess. investigators uncover clues to what caused one of the near disasters on board a 787 jet. that story is coming up. >> plus, protests and police clashes are building in tahrir square this morning marking the anniversary. a major anniversary for egypt. >> ahead in sports the capitals whoa are in need of a turnaround and fast.

we

welcome back. coming up on ten after 5:00 on from node. a little snow -- on this friday. a little snow coming up. here's a look at the forecast for the friday. talking about cloudy and cold to start. a dry morning. snow developing this afternoon. perhaps an inch or two here in d.c.. upwards of 3 inches of the fluff near the maryland and pennsylvania border. more on today's snow and your weekend in about five minutes. right now over to beverly farmer and to let you know what you can expect as you leave in a few minutes. howard, we are looking so good out there right now. as far as the interstates are concerned. don't get overconfident though out of the neighborhoods and secondary roadways for the slick conditions. you know it's going to refreeze in a lot of places. refrozen, refreeze? anyway on 66, you are clear as a bell as you come in here from 66 out of manassas toward the beltway. mike andrea back to you. thanks bev. we'll see you in a little bit. here's some of the stories making news this morning. the demonstrations started in

the overnight hours and it was not long before egyptian police started firing tear gas at unruly crowds in tahrir square in cairo. the day marks the two year anniversary of the uprising that toppled president hosni mubarak but now critics say the muslim brotherhood party has betrayed their revolution. people still struggling to recover from hurricane sandy three months later are hoping for help from capitol hill. monday, the senate will vote on whether to provide $50 billion in emergency relief. the senate passed this bill last year but have to vote again since the house delayed the vote and hen passed the bill during the new 113th congress. aviation experts are startings to unravel the huge problems with the huge boeing 787 dreamliner. they found a short circuit and an uncontrolled came 8:00 reaction. they have since grounded the 787 until the investigation is completed. well, now that we have had a week of coping with cold and

snow, are you ready for a warmup? >> how about that? i am. howard's got the seven day forecast coming up right after the break. keep i

good morning, welcome back to 9news now on this friday morning. it's 5:14. and we have a school closing to add to the list. st. mary's county is closed

this morning. and a good way to have a nice long holiday weekend for those people. >> they are enjoying it. they had a 5.7-inch snow total there. >> that's significant. >> slick spots there and more snow obviously they're still dealing with some of that and a little bit more snow on the way. and you know a little bit more snow on the way as we get into the afternoon and evening hours here. this will be a quick hitter. shouldn't drop a lot of snow an inch give or take in most areas with a few spots, maybe to 3 inches of another dry fluffy snow. here's a look at the winter weather advisory we start there covering the entire metro area. but you notice west and southwest of town? we don't have the advisories just not expecting that much snow. places like luray, culpepper, charlottesville probably less than an inch. and one of the reasons we're in the winter weather advisory not for the amount. normally we need a little bit more than an inch but the timing. weather service has some flexibility. the timing of this is going to be such that the afternoon commute could be affect asked out west in american --

affected and out west in maryland county. 6 inches there. dry cloudy cold conditions this morning. 23 by 9:00 and could be a flurry developing west by noon. during the early to mid- afternoon the snow moves in and by 5:00 it should be snowing lightly. high temperature 28 degrees today and not too much wind. south southeast 5, 8 miles an hour. here's our system diving out of illinois in toward indiana now. little bit of moisture coming in through the tennessee valley where it's cold enough for freezing rain and rain mix. kind of messy there and then up here, some of the snow not even reaching the ground because the air that's over it is to dry that initial batch of snow you'll see it on radar. it won't reach the ground for maybe a few hours before things start to come down. 14 in bladensville and you need it to go up. temperatures way cold. haymarket centerville 16 degrees this morning. got 13 coming in from baden right now with 18 at andrews. 17 bethesda. got a call in bill in the northern neck down to 15. he had 3.5-inches of snow yesterday down there. right now at reagan national

and you're looking outside at the capitol on our michael & son weather camera. you've got 20. feels like 9 though and the air is really, really dry. this is what i mean. humidity 40% but between the temperature and the dew point there's a 21-degree spread and that dry air is going to have to be overcome first before the snow can reach the ground and there's just not a lot of moisture to work with. even with the fluff factor, 2 inches i think more like 1 is what we'll be looking at headed this way. 2:30. out in the western suburbs and western maryland and western west virginia snow already flying. the problem evening rush hour. light snow might get a little moderate in a few spots but technically meteorologically this is a light snow event. be9:00 already seeing the snow pulling away if the metro area and by 11:30 we should be long done with the snow. here's a look at the forecast. today 28. snow develops this afternoon. again around an inch or so for

d.c. by this evening. 2, possibly 3 and the real favored areas the light event winter weather advisories 2:00 p.m. tonight we dip to 22 in town with the mid teens north and west. tomorrow 34 but it's going to be breezy and it will feel like it's in the 20s. sunday looks better. not as cold. 38. next week we really warm up. monday mid 40s could be a passing shower. tuesday, upper 50s looks like some rain moves in late tuesday, tuesday night into wednesday with mid 50s and then turning colder on thursday with a high of 40 and a passing flurry. let's check in with beverly farmer now. she's got your latest timesaver traffic. and howard, light volume certainly around the interstates and early morning problem we had out of baltimore i-95 southbound before 175 long resolved. everything looking good. the beltway here at river road. pace is good on 270 to get here coming down from frederick county into hyattstown. jermantown and points south. northwest washington there is a structure fire impacting sherman avenue south of columbia road. also police investigation on fifth street just north of

missouri avenue. so see some activity in that area forthiest. traveling in from -- northwest. traveling in? 66 from virginia. everything good on that ride. inside the beltway the pace is good too as you head for the teddy roosevelt bridge. 95 corridor. leaving fredericksburg headed for quantico into woodbridge and springfield. boy sharply different from yesterday. everything open as you make that drive up to springfield to get to the beltway or continue on to 395. still the caution for you certainly along secondary roadways and out of your neighborhoods for the ice out there. back to you. all right bev. thanks a lot. the capitols starting off their season like the wizards did. but that's in the good. >> not at all. plus the lady terps step out for clemson after softening on the tarheels -- stomping on the tarheels. the latest coming up. >> now the facebook question of the morning --

welcome back. 5:22. your weather first and we've got clouds across the area. but cold temperatures. teens around 20 right now. we're going to watch some snow develop later on so cloudy, dry

at 9:00. 23 here in town. 20 winchester and 21 couple pepper. to midday a few snow showers out west. but during the early to mid- afternoon, the snow is going to start to move in from west to east. and the evening commute could be some slick spots out there with some snow falling. shouldn't be a lot but enough to cause a few slick spots and highs today in the upper 20s. be careful. good morning everybody. well, even if you don't follow hockey you know this. boy the caps look bad. new coach, new system. barely any training camp. hey, all viable excuses but the caps look bad. they've given up ten goals if two games -- in two games. second period though i don't think so. the rebounds -- i tell you what room service rebounds. he makes it 1-0. then on a 5-4. andre mar cough rings the bell.

4-0 after two. here's one thing the caps are doing pretty well. matty hendrix. three games, three fights. good percentage. the caps don't put up much of a fight outside him. they lose 4-1. >> i think the good times -- it's effort. you know you got to want it and it's -- you got the realize that the team on the other side they want it too and you got to play true stuff and you got to you know, you got to really want to do it. it's very upsetting you know. not pushing the panic button. but obviously such a -- >> all right. maryland taking on north carolina last night at the comcast center. all about the thomas. that was tiana. this is aiolis is a getting her enrebound and the -- own rebound can the bank is open. maryland beats north carolina 85-59. all right super bowl xlvii right here on wusa9 don't forget. sunday, february 3rd 6:30 and the day before the "game on" crew gets you ready with a

special super bowl edition of "game on." all right that's a quick look at your morning sports. have a great friday everybody. okay, 5:25. your check is going to get smaller thanks to the fiscal cliff fallout. we have some advice on avoiding some costly impulse purchases because of that coming up. >> plus, vice president joe biden takes the white house gun proposal to a tough crowd today in virginia. 5:25. beverly farmer is in for monika. how are things looking on the roadways? >> well, we've got one trouble spot. a crash on the southbound lanes of the baltimore washington parkway just a little south of the beltway. southbound getting into river dale with a crash. we have more details coming up. you're watching 9news now. good friday mornin

forge and welcome back to 9news now -- good morning and welcome back to wusa9, i'm andrea roane. >> thank you for joining us. happy friday. i'm mike hydeck, beverly farmer is in for monika today with

traffic in just a moment. we're going to start with howard and the weather first and a reminder across the bottom of the screen and on wusa9.com we have some delays and closures related to the weather. >> just talking to charlie in fauquier county down that way. we have culpepper county schools closed for example. he said vdot never got some of the side roads. you got the ice packed and snow- covered roads there. and they don't want the take the chance of the -- to take the chance of the school buses even though it's a little snow and they're going to play toshach. that's why they're closed -- it safe. that's why they're closed today. that's why today is a yellow alert day. the morning will be fine just cold. temperatures starting in the teens in many areas. 23 by can. by 1 -- 9:00. by 11:26 the snow will move in toward the metro. the snow will be here for the evening commute through the evening hours and then should be done even before midnight. so going out tonight there

could be a few slick spots. but by tomorrow morning, the sun will be back and we have a dry weekend ahead. clouds are thickening overnight and you'll see them coming near with snow now in towards southern ohio. a lot of this initially won't reach the ground but not a lot. maybe an inch or two give or take. but winter weather advisories for the entire metro area until 2:00 p.m. and your temps this morning another frigid start with 13 in martinsburg, west virginia. 14 bwi and looking at 19 in easton and 16 in culpepper. by the way charlie also said he was down to 14. beverly farmer happy friday. happy friday except for bw parkway travelers. out of laurel and greenbelt there's been a crash howard, southbound on the baltimore washington parkway inside the beltway before 410 river dale. initially the right side of the roadway is blocked. now here's the beltway moving well at kenilworth avenue. good in greenbelt there. but southbound kenilworth avenue in fact each way on kenilworth. maryland 201 and river dale. they have a water main break and the left lane is blocked in

each direction there. we'll check out the ride for folks that head south on 270. that's been decent heading out of frederick into hyattstown and on down through jermantown and gaithersburg and rockville. a good pace and incident-free there. if you're making the drive on the 95, 395 corridor it's still light volume there. as you head from woodbridge into springfield and up to the 14th street bridge. of note on metro rail yellow and green rail there's a switch problem and you'll experience some delays. back to you. today, virginia will be a testing ground for president obama's gun control proposals. >> even both sides have said this is going to be tough sell. the white house is sending vice president joe biden into some gun friendly territory with an effort of promoting new restrictions on gun ownership. delia goncalves is live on capitol hill with more on the effort. good morning. >> reporter: good morning mike, andrea. you know senator tim kaine the democrat from virginia will be hosting a round table discussion with the vice

president in richmond today. though we don't know too many details you can only imagine as you alluded to mike, the white house is probably sending the vice president to richmond to get this hardest sell out of the way first. the vice president following this visit will then take his message on the road. it comes just one day after california senator dianne feinstein introduced a new ban on more than 150 assault weapons. but even democrats and biden himself think a ban is unlikely to pass. >> i'm much less concerned quite frankly about what you call app assault weapon than i am about magazines. and the number of rounds that can be held in a magazine. >> the message to democrats is see what your silence does? there will be more of these. these aren't going to end. >> we owe it to our constituents and our country to

try. >> reporter: sandy hook, aurora, colorado, and virginia tech. just three of the many reasons why senator chuck schumer from new york says we owe it to the country to at least try. hear from one local victim coming up at 6:00. mike, angry yea back to you. >> thanks delia. delia goncalves live this morning. d.c. police -- homicide investigators are at the scene of a serious early morning shooting. this is in northwest. this is a live look right now at fifth and nicholson streets where a woman was shot in the head according to police. they got the call just before 3:30 this morning. officers found the woman unconscious and not breathing and they have not moved the victim since our crew arrived there more than an hour ago. so far no information about possible suspects or a motive but obviously the investigation is still underway. metro leaders are proposing new tunnels to help the system keep up with growing demand. in a plan presented to the

agency's board of directors, metro managers expressed a hope for new tunnels in downtown washington in order to separate lines that currently share tunnels. they also want to build express tracks along the silver and orange lines in virginia. the estimated cost would be an additional $740 million a year. it is 5:34. time for another your money report. >> let's do this! or in this case not do it. according to jessica. stop spending money. >> that's right. i don't know if this happens to you sometimes you look at your bank account and you say where's all my money going? >> yeah. >> what's happening at your spending it? you're spending your money and you don't even realize you're doing it. here are some thoughts i want you to consider. you need to be more present when you're spending money. people talk about this being present. and if you can stop these habilitates i promise you, you will have more money in the bank. we're going to start with the common excuse we give ourselves to spend. i'm working so hard. i deserve a treat. well, i use this one a lot on

myself. here's a strategy to counteract that thinking. do you know how much you make an hour? most salaried people don't know this. so here's a gauge. median income in the region is about $80,000. that works out to be $40 an hour give or take. so let's say you want to impulse buy something a new big screen tv for the super bowl for example. if you spend $1,000 on that tv you need to work an extra 25 hours to pay for it. that's not even counting tax. so is that tv worth it to you? more than two extra weeks of work to pay for it. something to think about. another one for you. the i'll just try it on phenomenon. window shopping is a trap. women we love to do it. it's dangerous and here's why. when we think things on we think no big deal right? but it's a big deal because behavorial economists have found when we think things on and look in the mirror the brain actually registers that item as being our actual possession. if you created a situation for yourself where if you don't buy the shoes or the blouse, your

mind will feel a sense of loss. so stop doing it. and one last quick one for you. it's on sale. so i'm saving money. it's on sale. so i'm saving money? no. >> yes. >> spending money. >> you're spending money. you did not -- you did not save 50%. you've spent $20 on something that you don't need. >> if i bought it earlier it would have been more. >> you don't need it okay? bottom line. do not shop in the back of the stores -- the sale racks don't seek out the circulars unless you actually need the items. you are shopping for. you are not saving money. >> if i think about it three days later -- then i go back because i know it's destiny. >> then it's not an impulse buy. >> the difference between men and women was evidenced right here off-camera. you're reading the whole story and andrea is going oh, yeah. she's looking at the monitor and totally agreeing. i'm like yeah okay. >> i'm a hypocrite this morning. >> right because what? what do we have coming up next

jess? >> daily deals. >> buy something that costs what? >> $49,000. >> she's going to explain that little dichotomy. >> you'll see. >> originally $1 million so i'm saving money. thank you jess. stick around. >> oh man. can you shell out $1 million for a piece of art? maybe. if you have a lot of money. details coming up. >> it's a deal? >> plus your children aren't the only ones picking up the ipad faster than you are. we'll show

welcome back. 5:09. howard with you outside on the weather terrace. boy it's so glad the winds are light this morning because it's awfully cold out here. we've got teens in most areas and the winds are going to be light today. we start cloudy. we finish with some snowfall probably by mid-afternoon. looks to be light but anything that's not treated will certainly this stuff is going to stick to it. by noon 27 and high today 28,

>> sorry, i was looking at ortiz, she's beautiful. if it's your birthday, happy friday and happy birthday. we'll be right back.

welcome back. 5:46. big weather time now before we toss it over to howard. even though there's not a lot of snow on the way. two more closures to report. frederick and clark county virginia, schools closed. >> they're leftover from yesterday's snow. >> how much did they get in the area? >> ten miles west of winchester up in the mountains, he had 4.5-

inches of really fluffy snow. you know vdot can't be everywhere and if they didn't get to the roads they are slippery this morning. this afternoon and evening maybe an inch or so in spots. southeastern virginia there could be 2 to 4 down in the norfolk area and western maryland 6 inches or more because is snow is going to linger overnight a little bit. here's a look at the day planner on this friday morning. we're starting cloudy and cold and teens out there in most areas. 22 in washington by 8:00. by noon 27. we'll see some snow developing by mid-afternoon here in the metro and it will be around for the afternoon commute home. so that's why we've got a winter weather advisory in effect. highs in the upper 20s. and the system that's coming our way. is really two pieces of energy. one in the south and one in the north. now if they were to get together and phase as we call it meteorologically we can get a big storm out of this. it's not going to be until the storm is out here. sorry snow lovers no big event here in the metro but the

favorited mountains could get 6- inches, in fact warm enough aloft we have freezing rain falling across southern kentucky and tennessee this morning. but the snow is going to take a while to get here and the air is really dold. 8 degrees now in williamsport and we're 20 at reagan national and low to mid-teens in some of the suburbs this morning. outside on our michael & son weather camera, really good visibility under cloudy skies. north northwesterly winds at 10. it's 20 degrees feeling like 9 and the dew point is at 1 below. one of the problems we have to overcome is it's very dry air with the 21-degree spread between the temperature and the dew point humidity at 40%. the initial snow will likely be evaporating. so second storm on the way. yesterday was storm number one and it will arrive this afternoon. looks like 1 to possibly 3 for the metro area. really leaning more to the 1 inch total. that 3 hagerstown those areas near the maryland and pennsylvania border and in southeastern virginia you get

down to richmond some 2 and 30- inch totals. a milder period as we head to sunday and beyond. big picture we got some storms coming from the west coast. this is going to give us a big warmup to the middle of next week. in the short term though here's that system and you can see south of chicago some of the darker blushes we've got some -- blues so we've got more moderate snow mixing in there as we head to indiana this morning and that energy will be coming toward us as we get into the afternoon and evening hours. futurecast i'm going to have stop it here at 2:30 this afternoon and you notice the snow is out to the west and not all of this might be reaching the ground. but to the afternoon and evening rush hour. look at this 6:00 p.m. just about everybody dealing with light snow here. by 9:00, again i'm going to use route 15 as the borderline here with the snow winding down and look at that by midnight, it is already east of us. not expecting a lot and this is just one of several computer models i look at and it's producing an inch here in washington.

1.3 in manassas. 2 up in frederick. so you see some areas do get into that 2-inch range and more in the mountains. i posted a bunch of models and a winter weather advisory on my facebook page at facebook.com. find me. 28 degrees today. snow develops this afternoon. tonight the snow ends in the evening. mid teens in the suburbs and 22 in town. tomorrow 34 but a breezy day. we could have gusts 20 miles an hour. milder on sunday. 38. that looks nice. but get ready for some warmer temperatures. monday 46. passing shower. tuesday upper 50s with rain moving in tuesday night into wednesday and colder by thursday. monika is off this fed morning. but we've got beverly farmer to rely on. hey. hey howard. i have some pretty good news too on the roadways. got a live look from the chopper at the beltway in maryland moving pretty free lie. landover route 50 just south of route 50 and moving at a good pace. the early morning crash we had on the bw parkway the chopper reports is gone. so southbound river dale on the

parkway looks pretty good. kenilworth avenue in river dale the water main break repairs. along the right side of the roadway each day until that's been repaired. beltway west going west of 50 and on into silver spring looking good on the outer loop past new hampshire avenue. any volume is still pretty light and as you go over to colesville and university boulevard on the beltway there. here's 270 father hurley boulevard. below speed there. folks making the ride on 66 your lanes are open. manassas, heading into fair oaks making your way in toward vienna and the beltway, everything is moving freely into falls church and beyond too and the 95 corridor 395, any building volume heading into quantico is very brief still looks good woodbridge into springfield and on to 395. back to you. so for the next week and a half, i love this story. for the next week and a half. jim and john harbaugh's parents are going to do their best to stay out of the public and to stay neutral. >> absolutely. they're there with two loving
